Had an unexpected loss in significant-strength Monday on my upper body workout. Think I had some inflammation flare up - probably due to over training. Could feel more systemic burning in my shoulders and also some low-level peripheral neuropathy numbness/tingling (toes, palms) normally at level 1ish (scale 1-10 in discomfort) flared up to about level 2.5. May be tied to a transient auto-immune run down from a temporary low level viral bug that was giving me a slight dry-cough conflated with nascent inflammation from intense heavy lifting. I was sure to take my post work out vitamin and supplement regiment1. But I was down 20 lbs off my mark on regular lifting strength on shoulder and chest exercises for that one day. Hope it was transient and not a loss of muscle tissue - which I am working hard to avoid with lots of Essential Fats in diet and Whey Isolate Protein post-workout nutritional supplements along with good quality proteins (cottage cheese and fish/chicken) for latter meals.
